Jason Fox

Jason Fox is a 6-foot-7, 314-pound offensive tackle for the Detroit Lions. Fox was drafted in the 4th Round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions and signed a 3-year contract with them on June 24th, 2010. He played college football for the Miami Hurricanes, starting 47 games in 4 seasons. He even got involved in the offense a little bit in 2008, rushing for a 5-yard touchdown.

Fox is a tough, fundamentally sound blocker and was one of the more underrated offensive tackles in the 2010 NFL Draft. He’s known as a terrific position blocker, keeps his feet moving, and anchors at the point, sealing defenders from the action. Fox can also be explosive, quickly getting his hands into defenders, and correctly placing them to keep opponents away. He has better-than-average footwork sliding out in pass protection and easily rides defenders from their angle of attack. He has a warrior mentality and has proven his willingness to play with pain. He played the whole 2009 season with knee damage which caused major pain, knowing that he would need surgery but not wanting to miss any playing time. He finally decided to have surgery and missed the Cane’s finale and Champ Sports Bowl. Fox should make a great addition to the Lions offensive line.
